ASA Upgrade Troubles

[WHCARon]

I'm having trouble upgrading from ASA 4.0.12 to 5.0.11.

I can complete the upgrade, but my existing configuration file (persist.dat) becomes corrupt. I've tried replacing it with a saved copy and re-doing the upgrade, but nothing helps. I even tried completing the ASA/VAM 5 Service Pack 2 install and nothing seems to work.

Everything works on ASA 4.0.12 (even when I go backward after the failed upgrade).

The documentation (if you can call it that) is fraut with wrong support information so I can't get anyone from Avaya to respond if this is a known problem or not.

Does anyone have an idea how to get around this without my having to re-enter all the sites or scheduled tasks?



Thanks, WHCA Ron

When I did this upgrade I was at 3.1.2 and had to install 4.0.15 and then install 5.0.11 to prevent the persist.dat file from corrupting.
